>>14876392
Maybe get a good bike too fagwagon
>>14876391
idk, sometimes they put it in first and have their idle speed super high to keep on the gas.
>>14876399
do you have pics of the whole bike? i love old kawis in that green/white/purple scheme
>>14876395
Looks almost exactly like my GPX. 1996
>>14876399
my 05 ninja 500 i sold was same length as that. Unless you mean 20 foot wide, than yea.
Good night /dbt/

600 or 250? It's what my bike evolved from.

>>14876399
>tfw no ZRX
>>14876430
600. It's weird that an 04 would look like that, that design was old in 96 lol, they had the ZZR out and everything and that was faster and more modern.
>>14876391
>>14876411
Set your idle to 3-4k rpm, that's how stunters do it.
>>14876392
I fucking love this shit and I don't care if it makes me Shilliam Shatner

>>14876435
you know i sat on some cruisers the other day... and they weren't half bad.
is this the first stage of cruisercuckitis?
>>14876439
My 250 model actually went up to 2007, then it was updated to the 250r from 08-current.
I'd love to have a gpx 600, though I'd like my second to be a bit newer. I do really love the look of these bikes though.
>>14876423
I mean 20' bike as in "looks shit if you're closer than 20 feet"
It's my daily though so I'm not terribly bothered by it. It had a hard life before me, none of the scratches or dings happened at my hands.
>>14876437
I love it, man. I've had it for a couple of years. Bought it cheap and fixed it up.
>>14876435
Derp
>>14876445
That's not even coffee. It's like 50% milk, 49% sugar and a splash of coffee to fill it off. I didn't know that when I first had one, and I'm lactose intolerant so that shit took 1 minute to get from my mouth and out of anus.
The CBR is the coolest bike in the world
I want a CBR to be my girlfriend
>>14876461
Learn something new every day. The newer 250s probably aren't all that far from a GPX, it's fast compared to my other bike and ones I've had in the past but I'm pretty sure it's slow as shit next to the modern stuff.
>>14876459
Idk. I don't have just cruisers
>>14876464
Wuut, bike doesn't shit. I love the ZRX, I'm actually thinking about getting one if I can find one below 2500 dollars. I skipped out on one a week ago trying to put funds together.
>>14876459
Sitting on them is fine, they're like lazy boys. If you still want one after riding them then you have a problem because they also ride like lazy boys.
Reading about MotoGP now.
How did Honda dominate for so fucking long?
And what happened that they are suddenly at parity with a bunch of others all of a sudden?
>>14876481
I gotcha, a gpx600 would be something for pleasure, maybe a track bike or something if I ever find one.
>>14876454

Is the photography guy around?
I'm going to do some night photos tonight, and I wanted to get some tips before I waste half an SD card on blurry shots.

hm. getting car license was a mistake.
When a bike was only form of transportation that's what you used. No matter what.
Now it's just 'ehhh I'll take the car'.
I'm getting old and soft, team.
CBRs are so bland and boring. The most unexciting out of the big 4

Any other Brits here? Passed my module 1 today with 0 faults. It was pretty easy desu, just needed about 1hr on the big bike to get used to it.
Haven't got my module 2 booked yet but I'm guessing it'll be a lot harder. I really hate having angry little men shouting in my ear to slow down whenever I'm coming up to a corner, or if he sees another car.
My instructor has got me on a fucking 250kg Honda Shadow too, which is shit. Might go to another place.
any mod 2 advice? which shoulder do I give a lifesaver to when I'm taking 2nd exit off a roundabout? usually I look over my right because idiots sometimes switch lanes before exiting, but I think they expect to to check your left because of """cyclists"""".

How do other hungry Skeletons, kick-start bikes?
I'm 110lb and I feel like I can't get enough mass behind the lever the moment I get compression it stops or slows me.
>>14877102
what size is your bike? I had an old 100cc dirtbike I kickstarted easily when I was like 13 and 4'8
>>14877102
You basically stand up on the kickstarter, balancing the bike and yourself on one foot, then bounce up a little bit, fully extend your leg, then while still balancing yourself and the bike, bend your knee and lower your centre of gravity. When you get to about 90 degrees at your knee, push off the kickstarter like you're trying to jump as high as you can off it.
Even the hungriest skeleton can start pretty much any bike like this.
TL;DR don't just push down on the kickstarter, JUMP on it.

Guess I'll have to take the wheel to a shop tomorrow and have them do a quicky mount and balance. I'll probably have them balance the rear while I'm there. As for the rear wheel I need to order a new socket to take the wheel nut off

It's not a regular nut. It's a weird chamfered 12-point
Tool is like $30.
>>14877174
I don't even really mind it. The front wheel mounting is actually fucking great because there's just one pinch nut that just closes a little swinging arm that holds the axle in. I'm more pissed about my front tire not holding a bead. I was about to go out and ride the fucker with cracked fairings, scratches, bent rear wheel, and all.

EZ wheel changes when you actually have the tools, looks cool. I think it saves a tiny bit of weight too.

How often do you change the wheel on a roadbike?
And why would they be lighter? Not only do they need to take the same load as a double-sided one, they also need to withstand torsion.

dragging the rear like that and engine braking should have made it stop. I'm guessing the throttle stuck in or he had the idle turned up too high.

Question for you /dbt/ I have about 4,000 USD in cash saved up for a bike, and I'm not sure if I want to just look for a bike around that much, or use it as a down payment for a newer bike around 8,000 USD. I'm looking at either the Yamaha R1 or CBR1000 for the newer bike choices. I'm not so sure what I can find for 4k, I want something with a bit more power, I've been riding dirtbikes since I was little and this will be my 3rd street bike.
>>14877372
So what was the question?
>>14877358
I know /o/ and the internet hate everything, but why is there so much of it for small bikes?
>>14877387
New riders with little bikes are in no position to be a voice of authority on anything. The 300 rider in that screencap is a little twat for defending a shitty motovlogger who can't ride. It just makes him sound stupid.
>you can't judge people's cooking ability by how their meals turn out
>I'm a great chef, I've been making myself sandwiches for a week!
>>14877373
Shit sorry, TLDR, would it be better to get a loan for a newer bike, or try to get an older one with the 4k I have.
>>14877164
Welp, thats a nope.
I ended up dropping the fucker, at least I slowed its fall and didn't damage anything.
Right at the point of the stroke where it feels like firing it either stops me or slows enough even when I'm pushing as hard as I can and I went fucking ape on it.

how come all newish bikes make a squeaky sound from the engine (not the exhaust sound)?
>>14877417
Well, personally I'd go for maybe a post-classic, an older liter bike or something like that. I just couldn't handle having a brand new bike though, every little scratch and stone chip would hit me right in the feels.
I like having an older bike I don't have to be precious about. When I come off (with stunning regularity) all I'm worried about is my own ass, not saving the bike, and If I'm OK (so far, every time), then it's just funny.
But I can imagine there is something to be said for having the newest and the best shit, my PC is like that and it feels good man. But then a stick of RAM fails and it's like my whole world is ending until I figure out whats wrong. Closest analogy I can think of.

that's what i paid for mine and it had some more miles on it. i'd check it out.
>>14877429
>didn't damage anything
whew!
There could be something wrong with the engine that is affecting the compression, does it bump start OK?
>>14877517
kek
>>14877527
Sounds good. Does have some cosmetic damage but I don't mind
>>14877508
You ever find some nice fossils in Pennsylvania?
>>14877519
do you mean the induction howl?
How come snowcat is the only motovlogger I can stand to watch? I know he catches a lot of hate from dbt but I find his constant stream of shitty stupid driver commentary sympathetic to my own feelings.
>>14877348
What...
What am I looking at here fellas?
It looks like the Union Aerospace Corporation set up Delta Laboratory in your fucking rear caliper man.
>>14877544
It's the way he reacts to stupid drivers that makes himself look autistic as fuck. He believes he is somehow special, but everywhere has shitty drivers and he acts like it's something new.
>>14877537
no, the sound that's like an electric motor: eeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEE
I can mainly hear it on deceleration.
>>14877350
>finally registered
IKTF bro. Only been on a couple of rides so far, days are getting short fast and I'm working like crazy, but man it feels nice once I get out on the road.
>>14877150
>not just going to a tireshop in the first place
You would have been out riding today.
>>14877544
Hes an idiot, and always has drama in all his videos.
Hes not pretending to be overly friendly, he doesn't use tons of spastic pewdiepie memes, hes just complaining about bad drivers while speeding and doing wheelies in traffic.
>>14877544
because you're 13 years old and hes the pewdiepie of motovloggers
>>14877567
don't forget
>squeezes between cars that he knows he can't fit past
>bitches at the drivers as if they did something wrong
>>14877559
pretty sure you're describing the intake noise/induction howl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>14876505
they have a massive amount of more income than any other motorcycle company and they aren't afraid to dump it into their race teams.
they also are willing to pay a nice big amount to keep really good riders.
people talk shit about honda all the time but i cant think of another motor company that has anywhere as much racing history as them.
>>14877572
>the pewdiepie of motovloggers
>not jakethegardensnake screaming like a idiot at everything
>>14877596
I don't think it would make induction noise with the throttle closed though because the throttle bodies keep air flow to a minimum
>>14877612
haven't watched him and don't plan too
>>14877609
who is this? i thought jorge loranzo was number 1
>>14877530
I found the issue, I decided to double check the electrical while I calmed down.
Kill-switch had no ground circuit, its too dark now to fuck with it further, I'll wire up a jumper and test it in the AM, piss off my shitty neighbor.
FINALLY was able to ride again after 5 months, and winter came late and left early this year.
I haven't gone fast in wayyy too long. Felt euphoric.

>>14877706
out of all the local shops here i only found one that had a 60mm socket in stock was one for a crazy strong impact gun and was $900
>>14877702
I never thought he was funny tho. His humor is vapid.
>hahahah he said goodyhole
>>14877718
No good lighting where the bike is, I keep it in a dark, out of the way spot where morlocs would have trouble quietly stealing it from the yard of my burrow.

yeah. Seems like he used to make actual journeys and share some cool facts about the destination. Now it's just him going to eat and riding on the freeway.
>>14877724
meh. some people find different things humorous. this doesn't kill the human.
>>14877726

No I would not have. Don't kid yourself senpai. Coolant line broke. I'm not sure where but I have to get in there and fix it. The important thing at the moment is making it roll evenly so I can push it easily. Then I'll focus on starting it and riding it.
Plus, it was my first time changing tires.
>>14877778
Does your bike ever work?

Cmon son.
would you guys like this color scheme on the meme-09 or will it get old quick.
I've been looking into getting one and they have one like this at my local dealer and a bumblebee version
>>14877790
I like it, if you're riding a meme bike it might as well be a meme color.
>>14877785
It worked great before I crashed it.
>>14877788
>muh italian meme
Thing's been literally perfect aside from a headlight bulb. I was riding at night, bulb burned out, corner came up while I was navigating with running lights, gravel fucked my braking, hit a curb, cracked from rim, disconnected/cracked upper coolant line (I haven't even looked at it desu because it snowed the day after I crashed), and cracked plastics. It actually has a reason to be broken, I swear.
>>14877790
i thought it was kinda lame but i saw it in person and it's pretty cool. a bit unusual, but why not?
>>14877790
I've seen one like this in my town. It catches the eye, but it probably wouldn't be my first choice of colors.
>>14877790
not bad at all.
>>14877800
>>14877807

I kind of like my bars without the cross-brace. I'm a bit worried about bending them though.
